Product Description

In 1806, Miles Mason opened a pottery factory. Miles Mason solicited his three sons to manage his Fenton factory and the factory soon became known as "Masons." Mason's earliest productions were heavily influenced by the Oriental porcelain. In 1813, Charles Mason, the third son of Miles Mason, received a patent for his "ironstone china." Because of its exceptional durability, ironstone became the most successful product they sold. One reason for the immense success of the company came as a result of a unique marketing technique employed by Charles Mason. Rather than selling his product through catalogues, solicited orders, or door-to-door sales, Charles Mason auctioned his product. In 1848, Mason's factories became the property Francis Morley. For the next century, Mason's Ironstone would change hands four more times. The most notable and lasting of acquisitions occurred in 1862, when George Ashworth became partner to Francis Morley. During the 1960s, the company began to remake many of its earlier designs. Mason's Ironstone Ltd. continues to produce finely decorated porcelain.
